Abstract	A visitor to Peter Green Hall Children's Centre's classroom for 4- and 5-year-olds broke down in tears when she saw their teacher Bobbi with a head bald from chemotherapy. The visitor said her sister-in-law had recently died of breast cancer. In the family's desperate need to cope with the situation, their children, 4 and 6 years old, were not involved in the process. Now one was very angry. Adults in distress, racing to cope with unbearable difficulty, may be forgiven much. The authors tell a story about the way children and adults in one classroom encountered and experienced a teacher's cancer to share the sense of a community of care and the emotional depth that resulted. Such stories overturn stereotypes about what children can handle. (ERIC).
